FCC INFORMATION

NOTE : This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and CAN ICES-3(A). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference. And
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operations.

INFORMATION TO THE USER
This equipment has been tested to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

• If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the receiver is connected
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

WARNING
 Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING
Read entire Safety Notes section regarding potential hazard and proper instructions before using this tester. In this manual the word “WARNING” is used to indicate conditions
or actions that may pose physical hazards to the user. The word “CAUTION” is used to indicate conditions or actions that may damage this instrument.

WARNING

• To ensure safe operation and service of the tester, follow these instructions. Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death.
• This meter is designed for trade professionals who are familiar with the hazards of their trade. Observe all recommended safety procedures that include use of personal protective equipment.
• Carbon monoxide is life threatening even at relatively low concentrations. Be sure you understand the risks before investigating potential leaks.
•  Do not use the tester if it appears damaged.
• Always adhere to national and local safety codes.
• This COA2 is specified to read Carbon Monoxide from 1-999ppm. The app may continue to read above this threshold. Professional safety precautions are recommended above 35ppm.
• Threshold safety levels are set to industry standards. By customizing these levels to higher CO ppm thresholds, users risk personal safety. These settings are saved and used after exiting and relaunching the App. To reset back to industry standards set the levels to: Green ≤ 9 ppm; Blue ≤ 34 ppm.
• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION

• The COA2 is designed for ambient testing only. DO NOT place the instrument in flue gas or warm air streams.
• The COA2 is not designed for in-flue detection. Readings more than 999 ppm will damage the sensor in the COA2, even if readings continue above the 999ppm range.
•  Ensure that the sensor vent at the top of the instrument is free from obstruction.

NOTE: A quick instrument check can be performed by the smoke from a blown out match. Let smoke enter the vent. This will cause the indicated CO level to increase.
